Finally, she was no longer afraid that her son was a poker face.
Thus, from then on, Thompson Miguel could often be seen enjoying different flavors of dumplings at the family dinner table.
Time flies, and it doesn’t wait for anyone.
Aside from her daily study tasks, Moore Audrey also took on the additional responsibility of treating her friend Thompson Miguel’s facial paralysis. As time became tight, this rare girl who usually rested before ten o’clock found herself staying up until around midnight.
After a week of continuous sleep deprivation, the accumulated fatigue gave Moore Audrey a noticeable irritability buff.
Not only would she occasionally stare silently at people, making them tremble under her gaze, but she would also have moments of cool, frizzy hair when she tried to catch up on sleep during breaks.
Her mood was as changeable as a child’s face in June.
Finally, Friday arrived, and there were no makeup classes at school, allowing her to leave early once again.
The girl rushed home and dove into bed, sleeping soundly until it was pitch black outside.
When she was awakened by the ringing of her phone, she was still groggy, her hair tousled as she floated to her desk to answer the call.
Her usually soft and fair face was tense, her brows furrowed, and she looked quite disheveled.
Disturbing someone’s nap is truly a great sin.
Even if the person calling was… her top-ranked friend, Thompson Miguel.
After answering the call, she remained silent, her face stern, until the other end finally said, “Hello?”
The girl continued to glare at the screen, her mood still not quite right.
Thompson Miguel, who was staring back at her, was momentarily taken aback.
Yes, ever since Thompson Miguel learned how to make video calls, they have been using video calls consistently.
After a moment of surprise, Thompson Miguel continued, maintaining his usual expressionless face, staring straight at Moore Audrey.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Moore Audrey didn’t respond, still coolly glaring at him, “…”
As he began to feel a hint of curiosity, she suddenly exclaimed, “You woke me up!!!”
Thompson Miguel was taken aback and quickly apologized earnestly, “I’m sorry!”
Moore Audrey paused, then asked sullenly, “Is there something going on today?”
Thompson Miguel replied straightforwardly, “Aren’t we doing therapy today?”
At this, Moore Audrey nodded and shared her plan, “We’re not doing therapy for now; the second monthly exam is coming up, and I need to study hard…”
Thompson Miguel paused, nodding in understanding, “Okay…”
Then Moore Audrey didn’t want to waste more time chatting with him, waving her hand, “I’m hanging up…” and was about to disconnect.
Unexpectedly, Thompson Miguel suddenly said, “Wait…”
Moore Audrey couldn’t help but yawn, covering her mouth, “What is it? Is there something else…?”
Thompson Miguel hesitated, noticing her tired expression, and fiddled with his fingers.
Moore Audrey seemed even easier to persuade now, looking too soft.
After looking at the girl on the screen for a moment, he thought, “Forget it; you should go to sleep. I’ll talk to you tomorrow…”
Moore Audrey, too lazy to delve deeper, nodded and hung up the phone.
Just after hanging up, she was about to put her phone down when she received a call from her dad.
As soon as she answered, her father asked with confusion, “Who are you on the phone with? It’s busy…”
Moore Audrey paused, walking lazily towards the door, “Just a classmate… Dad, if you have something to say, say it, or I’m hanging up…”
Moore Luis fell silent for a moment, “Alright… I’m going on a business trip to City with your mom. Remember to eat at home, don’t starve yourself…”
Moore Audrey paused, accustomed to this, “You’re taking Mom with you on a business trip again. Moore, you’re too much…”
Moore Luis, feeling a bit embarrassed, retorted, “Stop talking nonsense. You’re old enough; you won’t starve… It’s almost a festival. Your mom and I are going to celebrate Valentine’s Day, okay!!!”
Moore Audrey looked at the stairs beneath her, teasing, “Sure, whatever you want. After all, I’m your debt collector… You can do whatever you want, even have a little brother or sister…”
Moore Luis: “…I’ll think about it…”
Moore Audrey laughed, “I’m going to eat something…”
After hanging up with her dad, Moore Audrey took her phone and went out.
